Actually, Gibbs's stated goal for each game is for the offense to score 21 points per game, which they have yet to do. Protecting the defense isn't just about giving them rest, it's about scoring points, so that they don't have to pitch a shutout every game.

As if it isn't enough that the defense has only allowed six touchdowns in six games, now they have to score for the offense, too? Talk about waving a magic wand! This defense has more than held up its end of the bargain. It's time for the offense to start doing their job, and score some points. That doesn't take a magic wand-- it just takes more effective playcalling and quarterbacking, neither of which have been very effective thus far. Gibbs is willing to admit to the poor playcalling, so don't lynch me for that, but he's saying that as much to cover up for Brunell's inefficiency as anything else.
